Published by my loud whispers of hope

I share my story openly and honestly to educate others and increase the awareness of mental illness, reduce stigma, prevent suicide, to inspire, give hope and let God's love shine through me and touch you.
I finished writing, proofreading and editing my memoir in January of 2019. I am in the process of sending my manuscript to agents and publishers that accept unsolicited maunscripts. I pray my words will turn into a book that will inspire and spark joy and hope in the lives of many. Recovery and healing are possible. I am living proof.

Yeah, I get it. Me too! However, I have learned that I look very unhealthy if I go below 120 lbs. A few years ago I wanted to be 110. I got to 118 and realized that the skin was sagging way too much and I actually started looking awful at 118. So now my goal is 120 min. Still will be flabby not not looking unhealthy, at least I hope.

120 sounds like a great weight… only in my dreams. I don’t know if I ever weighed 120 in my life. We are all have our issues though and I understand that. I hope you make you r goal of 120. You probably look wonderful. Love and hugs, Sue

my weight was 95 lbs until I was 28 and quit smoking. I always was too skinny. Now I realize people went on crazy diets to get that way. I was quite happy at 110, but then it kept going up! I’m actually very small boned, but at 140, 150 you can’t tell that. lol! Thank you.

I think even being small boned that 140-150 is a great weight. Maybe you don’t feel it is for you, but it sounds like a healthy weight. I would love to weigh that much. Thank you for sharing. I love your comments. Thank you. Much love, Sue

Good luck to you. You look like you do not need to lose weight though, but I understand needing to be healthy. I on the other hand really must lose weight. I am going to try again. Tomorrow is the big day. I cannot put it off any longer. I hope your mental health is good. Are you having ECTs again? I hope you do not have to but if you do I pray they go well and help you. They do help and were my life savers. Have a fabulous day. Much love, Sue

Great poem.
We don’t have a scale in the house so that takes away my obsession over the actual pounds.
Weight one way or the other is a struggle and always has been though. I think so many could relate to your poem in just body image.
If I had had chips I would have eaten the whole bag I can tell you that!

Thank you. I am happy you liked my poem. Yesterday was the Superbowl and I did have my pizza and pop, but I didn’t have any salsa to go with my tortilla chips, so I skipped the chips at least. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you kind and encouraging comments. Hugs, Sue

Thank you for finding me. I’m following your blog now. I love your recipes and your idea. I’m very happy to join you. I need all the help, support and encouragement I can get. Yay. Here’s to happy weight loss. I’ve only just begun. I attempted months ago but became I’ll and now finally I am ready and determined to make it happen. Perfect timing. Thank you. I look forward to getting healthy together. 😊❤ Hugs, Sue

Hi there! Im so happy you responded. I know just how challenging it can be to try everything and nothing work out. It’s harder than some ppl like to admit but thats the first step. And gaining will power. As for ur illness I’m sorry to hear that you weren’t well but even more reason for us to help each other feel better inside and out. First thing is first. How are you feeling today?
